- the first elongate hole portion 23 having a large width dimension in the Z1-Z2 direction is formed between the female threaded hole 21 and the first base portion 22, and therefore when the fastening force of the fixing screw 10 acts on the female threaded hole 21, the fastening stress and the bending strain generated in the first displacement portion (i) and the first deformation portions (iii) are less likely to directly act on the first base portion 22.
- the second elongate hole portion 33 having a large width dimension in the Z1-Z2 direction is formed, and therefore when the fastening force of the fixing screw 10 acts on the attachment hole 31, the second displacement portion (ii) and the second deformation portions (iv) are displaced toward the first displacement portion (i) of the first fixing piece 20. Therefore, the displacement amount and the deformation amount of the first displacement portion (i) and the first deformation portions (iii) of the first fixing piece 20 can be reduced, and the fastening stress and the bending strain itself generated in the first fixing piece 20 are reduced.
- both the first displacement portion (i) including the female threaded hole 21 as the first fastening portion of the first fixing piece 20 and the second displacement portion (ii) including the attachment hole 31 as the second fastening portion of the second fixing piece 30 are deformed in directions approaching each other.
- the first displacement portion (i) and the second displacement portion (ii) are preferably deformed by substantially the same amount in directions approaching each other from the viewpoint of relaxing the fastening stress acting on the first base portion 22 of the first fixing piece 20 and increasing the strength of supporting the panel by the first fixing piece 20 and the second fixing piece 30.
- the amount of displacement may be different between the first displacement portion (i) and the second displacement portion (ii), and the rigidity may be different between the first fixing piece 20 and the second fixing piece 30.
- a structure in which the rigidity of the first fixing piece 20 is made lower than that of the second fixing piece 30, for example, by decreasing the plate thickness of the first fixing piece 20, and only the first fixing piece 20 is provided with the first elongate hole portion 23, and the second elongate hole portion 32 is not formed in the second fixing piece 30 is referred to as a comparative example.
- the effect of forming the first elongate hole portion 23 the fastening stress acting on the first base portion 22 of the first fixing piece 20 can be relaxed.
- the rigidity of the first fixing piece 20 is low, the strength of supporting the panel member by the fixing device composed of both the first fixing piece 20 and the second fixing piece 30 is extremely lowered.
- the holes 23 and 33 are formed in the first fixing piece 20 and the second fixing piece 30, and the first displacement portion (i) and the second displacement portion (ii) are deformed in the same manner. Therefore, it is possible to increase the rigidity of both the first fixing piece 20 and the second fixing piece 30 to increase the strength of supporting the panel member by the fixing device 1, and to reduce the influence of the fastening stress on the panel member.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a fixing device capable of preventing the fastening force when fixing a panel member such as an in-vehicle display panel to a support bracket from causing strain in the panel member.
- In a fixing device for fixing an in-vehicle display panel or the like to a support bracket, it is necessary to devise so that the fastening force when fixing the display panel to the support bracket does not cause strain in the display panel.
-
JP 2016-122151 A - In this fixing device, the attachment hole formed in the attachment piece is made larger than the diameter of the shaft portion of the attachment screw, so that, in the attachment work using the attachment screw, the restraining force in the Z direction, which is the direction in which the attachment piece extends, is less likely to be transmitted to the bracket and the display cell held by the bracket. In addition, the attachment piece is made elastically deformable, so that the restraining force in the X direction, which is the elastic deformation direction of the attachment piece, is less likely to act on the bracket and the display cell held by the bracket.
- The display device described in
JP 2016-122151 A - However, when the display cell becomes large and the masses of the display cell and the bracket become large, in order to effectively prevent the display cell from moving due to vehicle body vibration or the like, it is necessary to increase the rigidity of the attachment piece extending from the bracket, for example, by increasing the plate thickness. However, if the rigidity of the attachment piece is increased, the fastening force when screwing the attachment piece to the device is likely to be transmitted from the attachment piece to the display cell, and strain is likely to occur in the display cell. As a result, when the display cell is lit and a dark color such as black is displayed on the display screen, the probability that black unevenness or the like will occur increases.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a fixing device for a panel member that can firmly fix a panel member such as a display panel and has a structure such that the fastening force when fixing the display panel is less likely to cause strain in the display panel.
- The invention relates to a fixing device for a panel member according to the appended claims. Embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, a fixing device for a panel member is configured to fix a panel member located anteriorly and a support bracket located posteriorly. The panel member is provided with a first fixing piece extending rearward, the support bracket is provided with a second fixing piece, the first fixing piece is provided with a first fastening portion, and the second fixing piece is provided with a second fastening portion. A first elongate hole portion located between a first base portion of the first fixing piece and the first fastening portion is formed in the first fixing piece, and a second elongate hole portion located between a second base portion of the second fixing piece and the second fastening portion is formed in the second fixing piece.
- It is preferable that the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion be fastened with a fixing screw, and a first displacement portion including a region around the first fastening portion and a region between the first fastening portion and the first elongate hole portion in the first fixing piece and a second displacement portion including a region around the second fastening portion and a region between the second fastening portion and the second elongate hole portion in the second fixing piece be displaced in directions approaching each other.
- It is preferable that one of the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion be an attachment hole into which a fixing screw is inserted and the other be a female threaded hole.
- It is preferable that a first fastening portion side edge of the first elongate hole portion have a bent or curved shape protruding toward the first base portion of the first fixing piece, and a second fastening portion side edge of the second elongate hole portion have a bent or curved shape protruding toward the second base portion of the second fixing piece.
- It is preferable that the second fixing piece extend rearward from the support bracket.
- It is preferable that the second fixing piece extend forward from the support bracket.
- It is preferable that the panel member be a display panel.
- In the fixing device for a panel member according to an embodiment of the present invention, each of the first fixing piece provided in the panel member and the second fixing piece provided in the support bracket has a hole portion located between the base portion thereof and the fastening portion thereof. A first displacement portion including at least a region between the first fastening portion and the first elongate hole portion in the first fixing piece and a second displacement portion including at least a region between the second fastening portion and the second elongate hole portion in the second fixing piece are displaced in directions approaching each other. As a result, the first fixing piece and the second fixing piece can be elastically deformed in directions approaching each other. Therefore, even if the rigidity of the first fixing piece and the second fixing piece is increased so that the panel member can be firmly held, the fastening force acting on the first fastening portion is less likely to be transmitted to the first base portion of the first fixing piece, a stress greater than necessary is not applied to the panel member, and large strain can be prevented from occurring in the panel member.

When thedisplay panel 5 is placed in front of thesupport bracket 2, thefirst fixing piece 20 is inserted rearward (in the Y2 direction) into the opening 2b, and as shown inFig. 4 , thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30 are opposed to each other in the X1-X2 direction. - As shown in an enlarged view in
Fig. 2 , an opening 6a for cutting out thefirst fixing piece 20 is formed in thepanel case 6 of thedisplay panel 5. Thefirst fixing piece 20 is bent perpendicularly rearward (in the Y2 direction) starting from afirst base portion 22 located at the edge of theopening portion 6a. In thefirst fixing piece 20, a female threadedhole 21 is formed as a first fastening portion. As shown inFigs. 4 and5 , a hole raised in the X2 direction is formed in thefirst fixing piece 20 by so-called burring process, and the inside of this hole is tapped to form the female threadedhole 21. - As shown in
Figs. 2 and3A , in thefirst fixing piece 20, a firstelongate hole portion 23 is formed between the female threadedhole 21 and thefirst base portion 22. The firstelongate hole portion 23 is formed to be wider than the diameter of the female threadedhole 21 in the width direction (Z1-Z2 direction) of thefirst fixing piece 20. That is, the Z1-side end portion 23a of the firstelongate hole portion 23 is located on the Z1 side of the Z1-side edge of the female threadedhole 21, and the Z2-side end portion 23b of the firstelongate hole portion 23 is located on the Z2 side of the Z2-side edge of the female threadedhole 21. The female threadedhole 21side edge 23c of the firstelongate hole portion 23 is bent so as to have a protruding shape toward thefirst base portion 22. That is, theedge 23c has a bent shape in which the corner portion is directed toward thefirst base portion 22. - The
second fixing piece 30 is bent perpendicularly rearward (in the Y2 direction) starting from asecond base portion 32 located at the edge of theopening 2b. Anattachment hole 31 is formed in thesecond fixing piece 30 as a second fastening portion. - As shown in
Figs. 2 and3B , in thesecond fixing piece 30, a secondelongate hole portion 33 is formed between theattachment hole 31 and thesecond base portion 32. The secondelongate hole portion 33 is formed to be longer than the diameter of theattachment hole 31 in the width direction (Z1-Z2 direction) of thesecond fixing piece 30. That is, the Z1-side end portion 33a of the secondelongate hole portion 33 is located on the Z1 side of the Z1-side edge of theattachment hole 31, and the Z2-side end portion 33b of the secondelongate hole portion 33 is located on the Z2 side of the Z2-side edge of theattachment hole 31. - The second
elongate hole portion 33 is a bent elongated hole having a protruding shape toward thesecond base portion 32, and the female threadedhole 31side edge 33c of the secondelongate hole portion 33 is bent so as to have a protruding shape toward thesecond base portion 32, that is, in a state in which the corner portion is directed toward thesecond base portion 32. - Next, the assembling process of the fixing
device 1 for a display panel will be described. - The
display panel 5 is placed in front (Y1 direction) of thesupport bracket 2. At this time, theframe case 8 is sandwiched between thesupport bracket 2 and thedisplay panel 5, and theframe case 8 surrounds the entire periphery of thedisplay panel 5. - As shown in
Fig. 4 , by inserting thefirst fixing piece 20 provided on thepanel case 6 of thedisplay panel 5 into theopening 2b formed in thesupport bracket 2 in the Y2 direction, thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30 are opposed to each other in the X1-X2 direction. The design dimensions of thepanel case 6 and thesupport bracket 2 are determined such that the distance in the X1-X2 direction between thefirst fixing pieces 20 provided on the X1 side and the X2 side of thepanel case 6 is slightly shorter than the distance in the X1-X2 direction between thesecond fixing pieces 30 provided on the X1 side and the X2 side of thesupport bracket 2. Therefore, as shown inFig. 4 , a distance δ of about 0.1 to 0.4 mm is set in the X1-X2 direction between thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30. - As shown in
Fig. 5 , a fixingscrew 10 is used as a fastening member for fastening thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30. The fixingscrew 10 has ahead portion 11 and ashaft portion 12 on which a male thread is formed. Theshaft portion 12 of the fixingscrew 10 is inserted in theattachment hole 31 formed in thesecond fixing piece 30 in the X2 direction, and at this time, awasher 13 is interposed between thesecond fixing piece 30 and thehead portion 11 of the fixingscrew 10. By screwing the male thread of theshaft portion 12 of the fixingscrew 10 into the female threadedhole 21 of thefirst fixing piece 20 and tightening the fixingscrew 10, thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30 are fixed to each other and thedisplay panel 5 is fixed to the front of thesupport bracket 2. - As shown in
Fig. 3B , in thesecond fixing piece 30, the secondelongate hole portion 33 is formed between theattachment hole 31 and thesecond base portion 32, and the secondelongate hole portion 33 has anedge 33c bent in a protruding shape in the direction of thesecond base portion 32. Therefore, when the fastening force of the fixingscrew 10 acts, a second displacement portion (ii) including a region around the attachment hole 31 (the second fastening portion) and a region between theattachment hole 31 and the secondelongate hole portion 33 is displaced toward thefirst fixing piece 20 in the α2 direction shown inFigs. 4 and5 . At this time, second deformation portions (iv) that are located on both the Z1 side and the Z2 side of the secondelongate hole portion 33 and are regions between the second displacement portion (ii) and thesecond base portion 32 are elastically deformed. - As shown in
Fig. 3A , also in thefirst fixing piece 20, the firstelongate hole portion 23 is formed between the female threadedhole 21 and thefirst base portion 22, and the firstelongate hole portion 23 has anedge 23c bent in a protruding shape in the direction of thefirst base portion 22. Therefore, when the fastening force of the fixingscrew 10 acts, a first displacement portion (i) including a region around the female threaded hole 21 (the first fastening portion) and a region between the female threadedhole 21 and the firstelongate hole portion 23 is displaced toward thesecond fixing piece 30 in the α1 direction shown inFigs. 4 and5 . At this time, first deformation portions (iii) that are located on both the Z1 side and the Z2 side of the firstelongate hole portion 23 and are regions between the first displacement portion (i) and thefirst base portion 22 are elastically deformed. - In the
first fixing piece 20, the firstelongate hole portion 23 having a large width dimension in the Z1-Z2 direction is formed between the female threadedhole 21 and thefirst base portion 22, and therefore when the fastening force of the fixingscrew 10 acts on the female threadedhole 21, the fastening stress and the bending strain generated in the first displacement portion (i) and the first deformation portions (iii) are less likely to directly act on thefirst base portion 22. In thesecond fixing piece 30, the secondelongate hole portion 33 having a large width dimension in the Z1-Z2 direction is formed, and therefore when the fastening force of the fixingscrew 10 acts on theattachment hole 31, the second displacement portion (ii) and the second deformation portions (iv) are displaced toward the first displacement portion (i) of thefirst fixing piece 20. Therefore, the displacement amount and the deformation amount of the first displacement portion (i) and the first deformation portions (iii) of thefirst fixing piece 20 can be reduced, and the fastening stress and the bending strain itself generated in thefirst fixing piece 20 are reduced. - Therefore, even if the rigidity of the
first fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30 is increased so that thedisplay panel 5 having a large mass can be firmly held, it is possible to relax the stress acting on thefirst base portion 22 of thefirst fixing piece 20 due to the tightening of the fixingscrew 10, and to prevent strain from occurring in thedisplay cell 7 or to reduce strain. As a result, when thedisplay panel 5 is lit, occurrence of black unevenness or the like due to strain can be suppressed. - When fastening the
first fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30 with the fixingscrew 10, both the first displacement portion (i) including the female threadedhole 21 as the first fastening portion of thefirst fixing piece 20 and the second displacement portion (ii) including theattachment hole 31 as the second fastening portion of thesecond fixing piece 30 are deformed in directions approaching each other. At this time, the first displacement portion (i) and the second displacement portion (ii) are preferably deformed by substantially the same amount in directions approaching each other from the viewpoint of relaxing the fastening stress acting on thefirst base portion 22 of thefirst fixing piece 20 and increasing the strength of supporting the panel by thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30. However, as long as both the first displacement portion (i) and the second displacement portion (ii) can be displaced in directions approaching each other, the amount of displacement may be different between the first displacement portion (i) and the second displacement portion (ii), and the rigidity may be different between thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30. - Here, a structure in which the rigidity of the
first fixing piece 20 is made lower than that of thesecond fixing piece 30, for example, by decreasing the plate thickness of thefirst fixing piece 20, and only thefirst fixing piece 20 is provided with the firstelongate hole portion 23, and the secondelongate hole portion 32 is not formed in thesecond fixing piece 30 is referred to as a comparative example. Also in this comparative example, as the effect of forming the firstelongate hole portion 23, the fastening stress acting on thefirst base portion 22 of thefirst fixing piece 20 can be relaxed. However, in this comparative example, since the rigidity of thefirst fixing piece 20 is low, the strength of supporting the panel member by the fixing device composed of both thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30 is extremely lowered. In contrast, in thefixing device 1 of the above embodiment, theholes first fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30, and the first displacement portion (i) and the second displacement portion (ii) are deformed in the same manner. Therefore, it is possible to increase the rigidity of both thefirst fixing piece 20 and thesecond fixing piece 30 to increase the strength of supporting the panel member by the fixingdevice 1, and to reduce the influence of the fastening stress on the panel member. -
Fig. 6 shows a part of afixing device 101 for an in-vehicle display panel according to a second embodiment of the present invention. - In the
fixing device 101, afirst fixing piece 120 is bent rearward (in the Y2 direction) from thepanel case 6 of thedisplay panel 5.

Alternatively, the first fastening portion formed in the first fixing piece may be a female threaded hole and the second fastening portion formed in the second fastening piece may be an attachment hole. - In the
first fixing piece 120, a firstelongate hole portion 123 is formed between theattachment hole 121 and thebase 122, and theattachment hole 121side edge 123a of the firstelongate hole portion 123 has a curved shape protruding toward thebase 122. In thesecond fixing piece 130, a secondelongate hole portion 133 is formed between the female threadedhole 131 and thebase portion 132, and the female threadedhole 131side edge 133a of the secondelongate hole portion 133 has a curved shape protruding toward thebase 132. -
Fig. 7 shows afixing device 201 for an in-vehicle display panel according to a third embodiment of the present invention. - The fixing
device 201 is provided with afirst fixing piece 120a bent rearward (in the Y2 direction) from thepanel case 6 of thedisplay panel 5. Thefirst fixing piece 120a has almost the same structure as thefirst fixing piece 120 shown inFig. 6 , but in thefirst fixing piece 120a shown inFig. 7 , the first fastening portion is a female threadedhole 121a. Asecond fixing piece 130a is bent from thesupport bracket 2, but unlike the embodiments shown inFigs. 1 to 6 , thesecond fixing piece 130a is bent forward (in the Y1 direction). The second fastening portion formed in thesecond fixing piece 130a is anattachment hole 131a. The shapes of the firstelongate hole portion 123 and the secondelongate hole portion 133 of the fixingdevice 201 shown inFig. 7 are the same as those of the second embodiment shown inFig. 6 . -
Fig. 8 shows a state in which thefirst fixing piece 120a and thesecond fixing piece 130a of the third embodiment face each other in the X1-X2 direction. When the fixingscrew 10 is inserted into theattachment hole 131a and screwed into the female threadedhole 121a and tightened, in thefirst fixing piece 120a, a first displacement portion (i) including a region around the female threadedhole 121a and a region between the female threadedhole 121a and the firstelongate hole portion 123 attempts to deform in the β1 direction, and in thesecond fixing piece 130, a second displacement portion (ii) including a region around theattachment hole 131a and a region between theattachment hole 131a and the secondelongate hole portion 133 attempts to deform in the β2 direction. The β1 direction and β2 direction are the same rotation direction (clockwise direction inFig. 8 ). Therefore, the first displacement portion (i) of thefirst fixing piece 120a and the second displacement portion (ii) of thesecond fixing piece 130a are easily brought into surface contact with each other, and thefirst fixing piece 120a and thesecond fixing piece 130a are easily fastened with the fixingscrew 10. -
Fig. 9 shows a side view of the first fixing piece 120 (120a) shown inFigs. 6 to 8 . The first fastening portion (121, 121a)side edge 123a of the firstelongate hole portion 123 has a curved shape protruding toward thebase portion 122. Alternatively, as in the first embodiment shown inFig. 2 , it has a bent shape protruding toward the base portion. Here, a line L connecting oneend portion 123b and theother end portion 123c of the firstelongate hole portion 123 passes through the first fastening portion 121 (121a). With this configuration, the first displacement portion (i) including the region around thefirst fastening portion 121 and the region between thefirst fastening portion 121 and the firstelongate hole portion 123 is easily deformed. - Alternatively, when it is desired that, in the
first fixing piece 120 extending from thedisplay panel 5, the first displacement portion (i) including the first fastening portion is hard to deform as compared with thesecond fixing piece 130, a configuration such that the line L does not pass through the first fastening portion is preferable. - In the above embodiments, the fastening member is a fixing
screw 10, and one of the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion is a female threaded hole, but both the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion may be attachment holes and the fastening member may be composed of a screw or bolt and a nut. - The panel member is not limited to an in-vehicle display panel. As long as it appears on the surface of a device and the occurrence of strain at the time of attachment is desired to be prevented, it may be a surface panel, a decorative panel, or the like.
